We are having a real crack but we will have some very tired boys.

Will be hard to maintain this intensity but i really hope we can.

Trengove is a big worry for this team. He has no pace. Otherwise i am most pleased. The boys want to learn. Tonight is the first.

Yes, they could hit the wall 10 minutes into the 3rd.

I would not be surprised if Trengove is subbed out for Sylvia. He has done very little.

haha was waiting for that...

Happy to be of service :-)

Huge half coming up for the side. Good first half showing but the players have to commit mentally to backing it up.

Trengove is on thin ice and should be subbed for Sylvia if he doesn't pull his finger out. We need more from him. Much more.

Not sure how to kick goals without the quick give to a loose player from a stoppage. Morton is an outside player, sure. But that doesn't mean he's useless. Far from it.

Just don't think ANY player should be a 100% outside player. Sometimes you have to go in and get it yourself no matter who you are.

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.

say no more

Jesus... he's having a pretty good game and you have to grab one incident in an effort to bag him!!!

Purely out of curiosity are you at the game or watching on tv?

sheesh 10 minute mark we are deep in attack we tackle in the pocket ball spills out of aints hands, drop in the ball, no free, seconds later Morton taken to ground without ball, no free again, just no reward for us with umps, so friggin frustrating. Boys are learning, great stuff. GO DEES

I've actually been pretty happy with Tom Mac. He is getting the AFL game fast track, and fair enough. He will learn heaps playing on Riewoldt. He was a bit at sea in the first quarter but has done well in the second.

I've also been happy with Morton and Davey. Both look like they are enjoying themselves out there. Davey in particular.

I love the way Neeld has set this game up with one on ones all over the ground.

Stuie, you see what you want to see. this team needs diversity. If we had all inside types we would be useless. Morton is not a Lenny Hayes type. As long as he can neurtralise the inside stuff and continue to run, spread and dispose, he will be a very good player. I see Morton developing under Neeld and the other coaches

That is what I was referring to earlier - for basically a first year player given Reiwoldt as a match up he IS doing a fair job.

Layed a ripper tackle on Goddard which I'm sure all the haters missed.

At the game. Morton >> Watts tonight. When its wet and slippery our boys want it more. Still not able to run both ways - might not have the fitness to run this out.

I think that he is showing that he has the physical attributes, just needs to work on his composure.

Reminds me of a kid called Frawley a few years ago.

To be honest, he has adapted well as the game has gone on. If he keeps this up for the rest of the game, he'll have done a great job.

Get Sylvia to full forward ASAP

I wish Channel 7 put this live in Brisbane - who wants to see Brisbane v Gellong having a mud wrestling match! Got the iPad live streaming the score and hopefully wont wake the kids up!

I saw a great tackle on Mcevoy?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
